Abstract

A biocide is strengthened in the biocidal effect with a branched guaternary ammonium salt having a group of ##STR1## in which R5 is an alkyl or alkenyl having 4 to 18 carbon atoms and R6 is an alkyl or alkenyl having 2 to 16 carbon atoms.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A biocide composition which comprises a biocide and a branched quaternary ammonium salt having the formula (I): ##STR21## in which R 1 , R 2  and R 3  each are ##STR22## or an alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, Y being hydrogen or a halogen, R 5  being an alkyl or alkenyl having 4 to 18 carbon atoms, R 6  being an alkyl or alkenyl having 2 to 16 carbon atoms, at least one of R 1 , R 2  and R 3  being ##STR23## R 4  is an alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or --CH 2  CH 2  OH and X.sup.⊖ is a counter ion. 
     
     
       2. The biocide composition as claimed in claim 1, which comprises 1 part by weight of the biocide and 0.1 to 20 parts by weight of the quaternary ammonium salt. 
     
     
       3. The biocide composition as claimed in claim 1, which comprises 1 part by weight of the biocide and 0.8 to 20 parts by weight of the quaternary ammonium salt. 
     
     
       4. A method for strengthening a biocide which comprises using the biocide with a branched quaternary ammonium salt as defined in claim 1. 
     
     
       5. The biocide composition as claimed in claim 1, wherein said biocide is paraquat. 
     
     
       6. The biocide composition as claimed in claim 1, wherein said branched quaternary ammonium salt is 2-hexyldecyl-trimethyl ammonium chloride. 
     
     
       7. A biocide composition which comprises paraquat and 2-hexyldecyl-trimethyl ammonium chloride. 
     
     
       8. A biocide composition consisting of paraquat and 2-hexyldecyl-trimethyl ammonium chloride. 
     
     
       9. The biocide composition as claimed in claim 1, wherein said biocide is a herbicide. 
     
     
       10. A biocide composition which comprises a biocide and 2-n-butyl-n-octyl-trimethyl ammonium chloride.
